Do the Islanders want John Tortorella as there next coach?

It would appear that this might be the case and Elliot The Rat Lives is also stronly predicting that John Tortorella is going to be the next coach of the New York Islanders. I think Elliot might be right as the Tampa Bay Lighting have also given the Islanders permission to talk to Tortorella about the coaching vacancy in New York.

Tortorella was successful in Tampa Bay as the Lighting won the Stanley Cup in 2003-2004 but they also missed the playoffs twice in his seven season as coach of the the Tampa Bay Lighting.
